Summary
After considering the risk of splenectomy in general, we report on our technique of this procedure, marking the place of removed lymph nodes and liver biopsy.
The low overall incidence of complications is demonstrated and analysed in the 61 cases under discussion.
Values are given on thrombocytosis, hospital stay, and drainage of the splenic bed. The diagnostic value of the whole procedure is discussed.
